Ross Gallagher at Tinder Hearth August 4
Tinder Hearth is excited to host Ross Gallagher on Sunday August 4th, for an evening of music in the barn. Ross is a bassist who grew up in East Blue Hill, ME, and currently lives between Bath, ME and Brooklyn, NY, where he works with a wide variety of musical artists. He will be celebrating the release of his latest record, neon night,: an excursion into an ambient/electronic musical world built around rhythmic bass ostinatos, clouds of processed looping electronic atmospheres, and melody. By turns both subtle and unapologetically noisy, the songs are a collection of luminous constellations, roved between by a band of texturally minded instrumental improvisers. Ross will be joined by longtime collaborators Peter Herman on guitar and RJ Miller on drums.
Tickets are limited—advance purchase strongly recommended
Doors open at 5:30 PM, with fresh bread and drinks available for purchase
Music starts at 7PM
Children 13 and under get in free
Music will take place in the barn with seating

Concert- Monday July 29th - Madou Sidiki Diabate & Salif Bamakora, Kora Duets
We are extremely excited to announce an evening of Kora duets with Madou Sidiki Diabaté and Salif Bamakora on Monday, July 29th.
The show will take place outdoors with seats if the weather permits, or in the barn if it’s raining. We recommend buying tickets to guarantee entry. On the day of the show we will announce on our website if walk-in tickets are available.
Kora is the ancient 21-string West African harp, traditional instrument of the Mande Djeliya. We are profoundly honored to host these two incredible musicians here in West Brooksville.
Madou Sidiki Diabaté is a 71st generation Kora player from Mali, West Africa. The younger brother of Toumani Diabaté, the world’s first Grammy award winning Kora player, Madou has become one of the world’s greatest living Kora players. Highly respected in Mande society for his profound traditional knowledge and renowned internationally for his dramatic virtuosity, Madou has toured extensively with West Africa’s finest singers, such as Salif Keita, Baaba Maal and Kandia Kouyaté. Musically adventurous, Madou has collaborated with artists such as Damon Albarn, Will Calhoun and Brian Eno, and continues to redefine the role of Kora in the traditional and modern world.
Salif Bamakora, aka Gordon Hellegers, has been playing Kora for over 20 years as a perpetual student of Mande Djeli, or Griots, the hereditary keepers of history and knowledge encoded in music. A primary student of Madou Sidiki Diabaté for over 15 years, Salif is deeply versed in the traditional repertoire, histories and cultural practices of Mande Djeliya and has become a skilled and experienced performer in concerts around the world, sharing not only music, but also telling traditional stories and illuminating some of their deeper meanings and significance.
Kora duets between Madou Sidiki Diabaté and Salif Bamakora endeavor to further develop the growing edges of Mande traditional Kora in the modern age. In pairing 71st generation Kora virtuoso Diabaté with long-time student and collaborator Bamakora, the two explore the endless possibilities of interpretation with original arrangements of the traditional songs of Djeliya. Combined with storytelling of the knowledge and history carried within the music, audiences receive an immersion in the sounds, stories and ancient vitality of the Kora with a deeply relevant message to the global audiences of the present day.
Doors open at 5PM with pizza and drinks available for purchase.
Music starts at 6:30 PM.
Children 13 and under get in free.
Music will be outside, and seating will be provided.
Tickets are $30, and advanced purchase is strongly recommended.
Please contact us at tinderhearth@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

Joe K Walsh, Darol Anger and friends - June 22nd
We are extremely excited to welcome Darol Anger and Joe K. Walsh with Sharon Gilchrist, BB Bowness, and Alex Rubin to Tinder Hearth on June 22nd! Tickets for the show are available here
Drawing on years of inspired collaboration and celebrated recordings featuring a creative approach to string band music, fiddler Darol Anger and mandolinist Joe K. Walsh have assembled an all-star band featuring some of their favorite musicians from the bluegrass and string band worlds. With Sharon Gilchrist (formerly of the Tony Rice/Peter Rowan Quartet) on bass, BB Bowness (Mile Twelve) on banjo, and Alex Rubin (The April Verch Band) on guitar, the quintet will explore the sounds of the modern string band. From burning bluegrass to understated new acoustic, this ensemble’s adventurous spirit shines through, underlined by its decades of improvisational experience and deep interpersonal rapport.
Doors open at 5PM with pizza and drinks available for purchase. No reservations for food needed. Music starts at 7PM. Children 13 and under get in free. Music will be outside, weather permitting. If there is rain, music will take place in the barn. Seating will be provided.
One of acoustic music’s most influential fiddlers, Darol Anger has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his involvement with numerous pathbreaking ensembles such as his Republic of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, the David Grisman Guintet, Montreaux, Psychograss, The Duo, Mr Sun, and Fiddlers 4 (for which he is GRAMMY-nominated).
Hailed by David Grisman as a “wonderful mandolin player,” Joe K. Walsh is known for his exceptional tone and taste. His years of collaborations with acoustic music luminaries include founding roles in the genre-expanding Mr Sun and pop-grass darlings Joy Kills Sorrow, projects with Matt Flinner, Scott Nygaard, and more. An associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Joe has expanded the boundaries of string band music at festivals and performances around the world.
Sharon Gilchrist has had an essential hand in some of the most influential groups in the history of American acoustic music, including the Peter Rowan and Tony Rice Quartet, Uncle Earl, Laurie Lewis and the Right Hand, and many others. Her intense musicality and grace always shines through, whether singing a ballad, thumping the bass, or performing an original piece.
New Zealand’s most famous export, BB Bowness, has a history of combining the traditional with the progressive, studying jazz performance on the bluegrass banjo at university. “J.D. Crowe co-mingles with the future,” says Tony Trischka. She is the winner of multiple IBMA awards for her band, Mile Twelve, and individual winner of the 2020 Steve Martin Banjo Prize for “outstanding accomplishment” on the banjo. Her euphoric energy and enthusiasm are not to be missed.
Freshgrass Award-winning guitarist Alex Rubin has brought his brand of flatpicking interpretations to stages all across the world, including 49 states as well as Australia, Estonia, Finland, Japan, and New Zealand. Formerly a member of The April Verch Band, Alex has interpreted a wide range of traditional string music for the guitar; his tone and technique allow for melodic expression of anything from Métis fiddle tunes through Scandinavian polskas to Applachian melodies.

MENU UPDATE & menus for week of May 20th
Hello all!
Exciting things are in the works this week!
We’ve switched over to our summer menus & pizza arrangement! This means that the CAFE is open on Wednesday & Saturday mornings, with pastry, egg sammies, coffee and other fun drinks, as well as the bread, of course! Be on the lookout for this menu potentially expanding a teeny bit in the next few weeks!
And PIZZA has OFFICIALLY moved outside!! So our menu is a bit simpler than it was this winter (until next year, dear arancini!!), and we are back to our traditional order-at-the-counter style… BUT we can seat a lot more people, the bar outside is back open, and we do of course still have tables in the barn if you’d like to spend your evening there! ICE CREAM should be back on the menu next week!
Our schedule will be expanding in June: Starting June 11th we will be making pizza on Tuesday through Friday evenings. And our bakery schedule will expand to Wednesday through Saturday stating June 26th.
